I thought you had left the forums. It made me happy.
The only way casual games could ever become a threat to story-driven games is if they are seen as an acceptable substitute by the masses. So long as the sales of the games remain strong there will continue to be companies willing to invest money into the development of story driven games so they can make even more money. The DS has plenty of RPGs with as good a story as you can expect to get out of any video game. Honestly, Fire Emblem on the Wii has the best story of any game I have played this generation and it is on the Wii where the genre is not close to fleshed out yet.
